Better fire all degree-holders right now.

Many of us actually posting have either too much time on our hands, care about something deeply, or don't care that much and just want to troll. Throw that together into one pot and you get a lot of attacks. It doesn't help that you don't see the person and many people don't understand how different communication is without body language.

So, yes, I think it's easy to feel attacked. The harder part is not to attack and most of us fail that, which is why the web is often so toxic. Personally, I try to care less and block more. Someone calls you a braindead nincompoop? Either block and call them an idiot off-screen, or leave a snarky message and then block. At least that's what I do, and I forget about what happened like 5 minutes later.

Being poor isn't a failure. You had bad luck and didn't have things in place to protect yourself, which was a mistake. Learn from it. You've been up there before and know the path to it. Try and do better and you might make it again.

I bet your son will remember more about how you being there for him than the failure - regardless of whether you're poor or not in the future.

Saved up for a few years to go to a 5 star hotel resort (thank you COVID!) and when we finally went, goodness gracious was the experience so wildly different from a 3 or 4 star hotel. Felt completely out of place there right from our arrival.

We arrived as backpackers and walk to main gate where the gatekeeper was. He was shocked and stammered "You.. you walked here?". We were quite naive in thinking everybody did since there was foot path, but upon looking back, it was not paved or anything. Nearly every visitor had their own car and there was a shuttle to get you between the bungalows. We also got a welcome cocktail and complementary snacks on some tours. We found out that we didn't even have to carry our own luggage anywhere and of course there was dry-cleaning but it was at max 20$ / item.

A great experience, but we'll need another few years to save up for a similar experience.

Bruh, why pay for Youtube in the first place? Fuck them

Joining the EU? Would that have even been possible?

I mean, I think it would've been awesome to be able travel to Russia without a VISA and just start working there...

You're one search away from the truth, my friend

Not a biologist, but I'm convinced it's possible.

With induced pluripotent stemcells (stemcells made from nearly any cell of the body which can grow into anything too), we'll find a way to make an egg from a man using any cells he provides. Then all you need is the other male partner's sperm and a donor womb. Btw, the womb won't have to be within a woman - artificial wombs are being researched.

Someone already posted the 3 parent technique. So it is at least already partially possible.

Since males have the XY chromosomes, they should be able to (theoretically) have female (XX) and male (XY) offspring. With advanced microbiology and artificial wombs, there's no doubt in my mind that we'll reach that point before the end of the century.

Obviously you're not USAmerican.

Google just wants to copy the fruit store. They want total control and have seen how the fruit store does it. Competition is bad for business.

I want to see the fediverse grow to enter the mainstream. For forum stuff specifically, that means as big or bigger than reddit. The more people discover and work on this federated form thing, the better. There will be better moderation tools, better filtering, better website experience and design, hopefully more developers enjoying opensource, etc.

And most of all, I want to see how this network will cope with not just a few thousand people talking but millions, maybe billions. If it can survive becoming mainstream, stay opensource, and ad-free, that I think we'll be a step closer to a better internet.

How so? Creating an account is like any other sign up? Everyone has an @username@server like email. There's nor much else to care about in order to use it.
